QOTD: PlayStation Move or Kinect for Xbox 360?

[ilockitdown]

Wouldn't it be easier to get 3rd party support for PS Move as developers have already made games for Wii, which can be similarly incorporated into PS move. Also, developers could make games for PS Move, and port them to Wii?

I agree with lupinesthlord in that the concept of Kinect seems to be superior and I think they have only begun to tap the potential. Kinect may not have buttons but that could be overcome with using the Kinect in combination with a 360 controller or voice commands. I think a combination of body movement and voice commands can have some really interesting possibilities. Also let's not discount the possibility of Kinect being able to recognize props (audio and/or visual) the user could be holding/using.

Kinect, I'm a programmer (some time ago I read that MS said it would work on the PC too) and it just seems like it would have a lot more options to work with and could be used for more then just games. The Move controler doesn't seem like it would be as good as the Wiimote, which already has uses outside of games.

What I think it boiled down to for me was the fact the XBox360 does not have the processing muscle to go beyond an Eye Toy while offering a good game. The PS3 is processing muscle which makes it ideal in real-time motion capture.

Kinect cant even play proper games.

Id like to see Kinect with games like Killzone 3, Dead Space and Resident Evil.

Move FTW

Playstation Move all the way. It can do anything that the Kinect can do (with the PS Eye), and more than what the WiiMote can do. The Playstation Eye is smaller, and for everything (including a game, Move, Eye, and Nav Controller) is cheaper than the Kinect alone. The Bulb is also functional, not just for looks.

Depends on what kind of games you like.
Some, like arcade fighting or turn based games, need a lot of button controls, you're using a normal controller for those anyway.
Some require slight tactile feedback, like a FPS. It's just more satisfying pulling a trigger. Move would be better for those, sure. Or you could just buy a gun controller.
Some are just more fun when moving your body. Sports/dance/fighting, a lot of which were the popular Wii games. Kinect could be better for those. The tech does sound poorly worked out though.

I'd go for Move if I had to choose, but that's because it seems like Sony understands the concept a bit better. MS is just putting out an EyeToy clone too late. For the price they want, they could have put both solutions into the same device.
A switchable motion sensor camera AND motion sensing controllers is the ideal solution here. Oh, and a radio for wireless controllers built in too. There's no need for any wired controllers anymore.

These things both seeme gimmickey like segacd to me. Move if I had to choose.

I already have a Wii complete with Wiimotes and games so why would I be interested in the Sony Wiimote for PS3?

And please, don't kid yourselves into thinking the "move can do anything Kinect can do with the eye." The Kinect is outrageously advanced. Playstation Eye is a gimmick.

 

[nafhan]

I vote for Kinect as the other option is basically Wiimotes for the PS3. Not completely sure why anyone would get that instead of a Wii unless they were really strapped for space. Not super interested in either one, though.

Cracked has a pretty hilarious take on this:

[matt87_50]

how about NEITHER, and I save my money for a GOOD GAME instead. should one ever slip through the mound of gimmicky crap we are likely to see with these new controllers...

 

[miloo]

"Move" babe~ probably it will end up like Wii...
I just playing mh3 with my classic wii controller, sorry to say that, others Wii games just crap

 

[Spanky Deluxe]

Neither. If I want motion controlled games then I'll stick with the Wii.

 

[Guest]

Neither, I already have a Wii. And at $149 for the Kinect and at least $220 for two player Move (2 orbs, 2 sub-controllers and an Eye) they are bother total rip offs.

 

[phatboe]

Neither

anyone else notice the ps3 move controller looks like a fleshlite????

THE MOVE:

Here's why...

Elder Scrolls V comes out for Xbox360 and PS3. I could have a Move with 2 Controllers one for my sword and one for my shield. Or I could have the Kinect...

I think applied to an actual game like the Elder Scrolls series the winner is clear.

I might not make the Move over for fps's but I think it's gonna get more use in big titles then the Kinect will. and thats what I game for... not to work out, not for social networking, but for Gaming. And for that, I think the Move wins it.

 

[Userremoved]

Basically it runs down to this:
A stupid Wii imitation or a totally hands free system.
Ill pick the hands free one.

 

[idisarmu]

Playstation Move, hands down.

Both of these are awful in my opinion, but I'd rather have a crappy controller than no controller.

 

[xerroz]

Nintendo Wii

or neither

 

[drwho1]

None, plain and simple PS3 controller for me.

 

[mutantmagnet]

Oh I forgot to add I'm interested more in the move mostly due to the software they are trying to make and their existing software like Heavy Rain.

 

[mutantmagnet]

"Though they're aimed at the same demographic"

No they aren't. The MS conference was clearly aimed at people who shun the Xbox because the existing software isn't appealing and the controller is too intimidating.

The Sony conference was all over the place which is no surprise when their current tagline is the PS3 can do everything. As a result their message was more like MS is dumb, Nintendo is behind the times, we're tough guys and you want to hang out with us macho men.

They are trying to keep their existing userbase happy by making software they think might be appealing to them (I'm also thinking of what was shown at GDC). They are trying to appeal to people who maybe more attracted to the Wii than the PS3 but it seems like they don't have much confidence or even a good theory on how to do that considering their price point and shorter attention at pushing their move software meant for this potential audience.

Move. I own a PS3 and have no interest in the X360. But even if I did own both systems I would choose the Move. When it comes right down too it I just don't feel like jumping around and waving my arms in the air like an idiot. The Kinetic has a lot of potential but it just doesn't appeal to me.
